Hi, I can't write to email: dev@getmonero.org.
I can't register https://forum.monero.space/, not come email confirm.
Add a gui wallet to linux repository, and need client-server functional same electrum.

Kind of wild. I remember when this used to be Monero almost all the time. But today is a gigantic sea of red. Across all the whole crypto market.

But there's Little Monero shining green.

Even Z-turd is down.

Zcrap has always been a captured coin, similar to dash.

Easy to manipulate and pump and fleece the sheeple.

It should be Zero.

I suppose this belongs in the speculation thread, but I feel like that is pretty dead over there.

But what is going on with Matero? Is it being yanked up by Zcash? Has some sort of, like, cousin play or something?

Also, the cup and handle formation may be Monero's favorite thing. I keep seeing it does that over and over again. I think we're in the middle of making a handle right now. I think we might go up a little, but we'll see.

Personally I think its organic and now that the artificial suppression of insider paper monero dumps on centralized shitcoin exchanges has pretty much stopped since they all ran away from the feds prying eyes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Binance and that pos  Zhao relists it and starts their old scam now that he is in the feds pocket.

Monero (XMR) climbs to $375, its highest level since May 2025!

[cAPSLOCK]

Erm.  I just went to sell a smidge of Monero to pay for a special thing,  and I sold for $457?

Whassappening...

Altcoin market is shifting from quantity (95% of coins are sliding down) to quality (XMR pumps)

One theory I have is that with many new regulations taking shape and entering into validity in 2026, for example the European Union's MiCa and TFR, Monero could be used to escape them. This brings us the question: will these users change their money back to BTC or even stablecoins once they have made some transactions on XMR to be fully private? Or will they hodl XMR?

When the famous $300 pump happened some months ago, everybody thought XMR would dump again because it "was only a hacker laundering his money". But that dump never happened, XMR stayed high. Perhaps there is indeed some shift and XMR is now also used as a private store of value?

[cAPSLOCK]

Yes.

This is interesting.  Particularly happening as ZEC is cooling a bit.

So many potential theories.

Paper hands moved to privacy coins for a few days and are currently moving to another narrative, as expected.

Well, my journey with XMR started today. It's a little late, but better late than never.
Other projects, altcoins, and shitcoins have lost their appeal. I wish all the longevity and progress to XMR and its very strong community.

Glad i bought again , still painfull i have a seedphrase with 11 words on it , this was used in the beginning of xmr(monero), never found an option to br8ng them up again because now the new version since long time ago needs 12 words , but still happy anyway I bought again

One theory I have is that with many new regulations taking shape and entering into validity in 2026, for example the European Union's MiCa and TFR, Monero could be used to escape them.

But these new rules may also be directed against XMR, which will clearly not benefit XMR.

This brings us the question: will these users change their money back to BTC or even stablecoins once they have made some transactions on XMR to be fully private? Or will they hodl XMR?

XMR's price is also volatile and susceptible to external news factors. I believe that (given the upcoming bear market trend) users will primarily "exit" to stablecoins, with only a small portion of holders investing in BTC.

I can't say for sure, and these are just my guesses.

When the famous $300 pump happened some months ago, everybody thought XMR would dump again because it "was only a hacker laundering his money". But that dump never happened, XMR stayed high. Perhaps there is indeed some shift and XMR is now also used as a private store of value?

Hmm, XMR's functionality is designed for something else, and certainly not as a store of value. My point is that people (most of them) will use XMR for privacy, after which they will "save" their money in more stable cryptocurrencies (stablecoins).

I don't think Monero ever had an 11-word seed phrase. It had a 13-word seed phrase. My Monero used that. It had 25, which is the standard.  And since then, we've seen the development of some of the phrases which include a time stamp, like the 14-word seed phrase.

There are tools you can use to manipulate the seed phrase or uncover private keys.  There was a fork of the BIP 39 tool that included Monero and could even create a 25-word Monero seed from a 24-word Bitcoin seed, which uses the algorithm that Ledger and others used to derive a Monero seed phrase from a Bitcoin seed phrase.

Do you remember what wallet it was?

Some third party wallet used 11 for some stupid ass reason IIRC.

But I have no clue what it was, this pops up here every so often and I think the only hope is to find that program and get the private key from it or find out the algo it used which basically comes down to the same issue of finding out what wallet it was.

[markm]

If it was really old there might be a possibility it is not really using seed phrases at all in the more-modern sense;

In HORIZON for example, and thus possibly in the NXT from which it was cloned/derived, a phrase was generated as sort of a suggested pass-phrase but really the system simply uses the entire string as a private key so that you can add words, change words, not use words at all, even just use a single space character as passphrase or whatever.

I came here to post on my computer yesterday that it seems notable to me that monero has been recovering alongside Bitcoin after this recent dip. While the pump and dump of Zcash seems to be deflating rapidly.

Seems I forgot to hit the post button, though.

At the time Monero had, once again, overtaken Zcash, market cap.  But was still below it in price.

And as of today, Zcash is still going down, but Monero is continuing to recover upwards.  And this is actually happening on a day that is flat to red across most crypto.

Makes me wonder, do you think the Zcash pump and dump scammers are running their coins either back into or through Monero so that they can actually have some privacy?  🤔😁
